Tony Caracci (the self-named "Tony the Wine Guy") of Hudson's Mill in Massapequa, said that lately, the number of people eating at the Hudson's Mill bar is starting to equal the number just there to drink. "A lot of people may have an appetizer and wind up staying, having the rest of their dinner at the bar," Caracci said. No doubt, a personable bartender adds greatly to the allure of bar dining.
